Forget Cuffing Season; Scorpio Season Is Here — & It’s All About You

It’s the most fabulous time of the year! The onset of Scorpio season from 22nd October to 21st November means that it's peak autumn. This time of year isn’t just about pumpkin spice and Gilmore Girls and new jackets. It’s a time when we want to build, grow, harvest and cultivate relationships. Our intuition will be high, allowing us to see matters differently. 

Although many believe this is when cuffing season begins, this year it will be very anticlimactic since we are focusing more on autonomy than partnerships. With rebellious Uranus opposing the Scorpio sun, we’ll opt to be single rather than commit to situationships. Watch out for the slow fade away from relationships since Scorpio is a silent sign who believes everyone should catch the vibe they are putting out there without Scorpio ever having to vocalise their sentiments.  

Scorpio is a fixed water sign that is known to be moody and broody. However, the scorpion also has a very soft nature that only the closest friends will experience. If you annoy them, Scorpio will sting you. Choosing to let them be and staying in your lane will ensure that they don’t come for you. Scorpios are the true ride-or-dies of the zodiac: They'll never leave the side of someone they care about and will stand with them through thick and thin. The unwavering nature of Scorpio means that they are intense and deep. The days ahead show us their true nature, especially since the planets Saturn and Neptune gently aspect the Scorpio sun.

Scorpio is lucky enough to have two planetary rulers: Mars and Pluto. By understanding the current energy of these celestial bodies we can suss out the energy of Scorpio season. With action-oriented Mars in Leo dramatically dominating our desires, we’ll assert our emotions and passions theatrically. So give yourself a round of applause when being extra and messy. Pluto in Capricorn and Aquarius are associated with transformation and change. The world is evolving and we are, too. Let go of preconceived ideas and views in order to align with the universe. All of these define Scorpio’s personality because it is the most transcendent sign of the zodiac. Mars and Pluto like to connect and create intimate bonds. They’ll do anything to forge an alliance. This year, that means forgiving past issues, but not forgetting. 

Take the Death card from a tarot deck if you want to meditate and manifest. Place it on your altar or make it your screensaver on technological devices. This card, which links up with the zodiac sign Scorpio, could motivate us to progress toward achieving our goals. Carry it with you as a reminder of the intentions set forth. 

All in all, the weeks ahead are going to metamorphose our lives. Like a butterfly, our wings will broaden and our innermost dreams are taking flight. The sun illuminates our truest spirit and defines our purpose. Focusing on ourselves and revolutionising the relationship with ourselves is key. Give yourself some TLC and protect yourself from energetic vampires who aren't worth your time.
